Alternative Shade Solutions - Awnings, Blinds & Umbrellas

If it's not a shade sail that you are after but a shade solution of a different kind, perhaps an awning, blind or umbrella of some sort may better suit your needs.

Awnings

Awnings offer a versatile shade solution as they allow you to adjust your shade requirements as needed in addition to enhancing the appearance and value of your home or business. They make the most out of your outdoor areas by providing excellent UV protection without obstructing your view. Awnings may be the best option for your patio, verandah, restaurant or store fronts.

Awnings may be used to reduce the light, heat, weather and sun damage to outdoor areas and furniture. They look great, come in a variety of designs, colours and fabrics, are durable and may be the perfect option for your situation. Whether aluminium, canvas or acrylic, clear, tinted PVC or mesh, awnings provide excellent protection from the elements for you and your windows.

Blinds

Blinds can be used to provide privacy, protection from the elements and also to allow for visibility and views. Blinds can also be used to provide an extra room to your home or business without the construction costs.

You can choose from outdoor roller blinds to mesh or clear or tinted PVC blinds, from blinds which are a simple hand roll operation to those which involve using a spring loaded zip track system.

Roller Blinds

Roller blinds hang vertically and help to protect your home or business against overheating, glare and fading whilst still allowing sunshine in when retracted in winter. Roller blinds use a gearbox and crank handle system for easy use and to optimise tension.

Automatic Blinds

Automatic blinds are an easy and cost effective way to provide privacy, protection from the elements and to allow for visibility and views. Using high quality, spring-loaded mechanisms accompanied with acrylic canvas, an automatic blind serves a variety of purposes and is very easy to operate.

Clear/Tinted PVC or Mesh Blinds

Clear/tinted PVC blinds and mesh blinds are a popular option for people who want protection from the elements, privacy and visibility to an area of their home or business. Clear/tinted and mesh blinds also have the added benefits of improving the appearance and value of your home or business.

You can maximise your living area all year round by enclosing your BBQ/veranda/patio area with clear/tinted PVC or mesh blinds. They are also a popular choice for café and restaurant owners who maximise the use of their commercial premises by enclosing their dining areas so that they too can be used all year round.

Clear/tinted PVC or mesh blinds can be installed with or without a hood and are fully welded. Any blinds needing seams are welded using a continuous Triad wedge welder for added strength. For a superior quality clear/tinted PVC blind ask about the Ziptrack track guided blinded system. This system looks great and is simple to use because of its spring-loaded system which doesn’t require zippers.
